WHAT HAPPENED

Markets have shown resilience in the face of Middle East risks, with the Vix 'fear gauge' falling to prewar levels, according to International homepage. This decline in volatility occurred despite oil prices rising back to about $90 a barrel. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ have also opened higher, as reported by Reuters.

The fall in the Vix 'fear gauge' suggests that investors are becoming less concerned about the risks associated with the Middle East conflict, with some warning of complacency. Additionally, oil price stabilization and gains by companies like NVIDIA have contributed to the positive market sentiment, as noted by CNBC. Meanwhile, reports of a fresh U.S.-Iran peace deal are being weighed by investors, according to Reuters.

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has significant implications for global markets and economies, with India's relationship with Israel deepening in response to the intensifying conflict, as reported by The Guardian. The ability of markets to shrug off these risks is a key factor in understanding the current economic landscape.
